Alison Levin

Where I live: We actually live in Fayetteville but have a condo on Beaver Lake. We love spending time at the lake just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views from our place. It's a great getaway and not too far of a drive.

Occupation: I'm the Senior Development Officer for Mercy Health Foundation. I work in philanthropy and raise funds to support Mercy hospital and clinics.

My favorite space is: Our outdoor deck.

Why? We love sitting on our deck reading a good book or grilling. It's a great place to relax and again enjoy the scenery and sounds of the lake. My husband, Richard, and I love to grill on our porch and enjoy the sounds of boats and laughter on the lake. We also love watching the hummingbirds and, once dusk settles in, the bats.

If I could make one change to improve this space, I would: We actually just renovated our space. It was built in 1975 and we just remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms. We recently updated our condo by opening the kitchen to the dining area, renovating the bathrooms and replacing the floors with an updated tile that resembles wood. If anything, I would expand our deck so we would have more room to entertain.
